  • TedBasket candy fiend (@TedBasket) reported

    @melvin2898 @ShawnOfANewAge @BretHawkins87 *Trouble finding Nintendo Switch game sales specifically, as the site is literally tailored to finding the best deals... on Switch games. You can try and dance around all you want but you're eventually going to have to drop the cognitive dissonance.

  • Joadams666 Jo adams (@Joadams666) reported

    @FortniteStatus when are you going to investigate the colour blindness settings on Nintendo switch they are still not working in game and haven’t since the start of chapter 3

  • patricknotirl patrick (@patricknotirl) reported

    nintendo wii broken

  • ALonerGuy995 ダビエル | CEO of Weeb Army (@ALonerGuy995) reported

    Mad that Nintendo can get away with this charging $50/$20 for a online service that's unplayable on certain games yes Mario Kart 8 & Smash Bros is playable but not Mario Party Super Stars. Never touching online for this again.

  • Crash49676428 Crash (@Crash49676428) reported

    @bandicootpage All of them except for the hand held Nintendo crash games

  • ChesterDoggo CheetoDeeto (@ChesterDoggo) reported

    @PAMVLLO Imagine that they make available soundtracks from their games exclusively for the Nintendo switch online service as a full priced expansion pack just to leave a final middle finger into this situation

  • spicybread5 AceRetro (@spicybread5) reported

    @NXRazzalyn @GGMcAllen1138 I never complained about $5-10 VC title back when the Wii was relevant. That's fine as long as the emulation is perfect or at least close to it. The problem now is that Nintendo now wants us to pay even more for faulty roms that we can't even keep. It's not even a step forward

  • Le202nard Leonard (@Le202nard) reported

    @theliamnissan But he wants us to think Nintendo and porn are the problems.

  • Vet_infin ⛰️Vet 🍃 (@Vet_infin) reported

    Nothing wrong if you like the Switch btw. But personally the only thing keeping me away from selling me are the first parties. This console has so many issues that I didn't had with previous Nintendo systems.

  • KurriTweets Kurri ★ Pushin 🅿️ (@KurriTweets) reported

    I'm not even saying stop buying nintendo. You can still buy their products and still have a **** them attitude. The issue is, I know nintendo desperately want to still view them as the good, wholesome, friendly company and not video game disney

  • MintPossum Real Possum Hours (@MintPossum) reported

    @kylethehunter95 @Nomad_Wonderer @GGMcAllen1138 Really, please explain to me why I shouldn't pirate a game that Nintendo refuses to release or rerelease, that buying used not only cost several hundred dollars, but has a high risk of not working and doesn't even benefit Nintendo.

  • cinnamonrollcam CinnamonRoll (@cinnamonrollcam) reported

    @KilledByAPixel @chantolove @itchio A lot of platforms have a problem with IP laws (as NF7s markets do), those games are not essential for their bussiness model, but also some fall under the grey areas of IP laws, or are "fair use", Nintendo lawyers could ask itchio to take them down if they become a big deal.

    To the people using this as an opportunity to demand YouTube fix their copyright system: while I agree their current system sucks ***, what Nintendo did is exactly what real copyright is made for. As nice as they were, those soundtrack uploads were actually copyright infringement

  • 100morelives Celusid (@100morelives) reported

    Well my switch bricked a week ago. I want it to be fixed, but last time I tried to get you to fix my switch you failed, twice. @NintendoAmerica @NintedoSupport

  • Jeffry97954560 Jeffry (@Jeffry97954560) reported

    @UbisoftSupport Hello! I just purchased Just Dance 2022. I tried to login to my UBISOFT account from my Nintendo Switch to get my Unlimited Just Dance free trail but I wasn't able to. It states that "UBISOFT is unavailable at the moment, please try again later."

  • lokiwhule Lokiwhule (@lokiwhule) reported

    @ExpandDong15 To play devils advocate, this is not YouTube fault over a broken system this time. Nintendo technically has the legal rights to remove gilva's content. Does it make it right morally though? Helllll no ffs Nintendo just release your ******* music somewhere already.

  • Bspauld12 Brian Spaulding Jr (@Bspauld12) reported

    @GeppettoA My Nintendo switch is broken 🥲

  • GunbusterX Mark (@GunbusterX) reported

    Good evening @thetruebowser and @Bullet_Bole I just wanted to send a request to see Custom Robo and Custom Robo V2 get their english debut on the Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pass service.

  • Hazencruz **** Mabutt (a treat) (@Hazencruz) reported

    @TheQuartering kinda sounds like a lot of people had the same 4 problems. just keep doing the Nintendo business model by milking the algorithm though dude, dont even worry about "legit" criticism. you do clickbait not art.

  • ItsJustHenri HenriHeck (@ItsJustHenri) reported

    @inkSwordsman @Oti09280470 I think long as ps and Nintendo keep doing what they're doing we be fine overall. Since alot of people own multiple systems or a ps and PC. If majority of people were on xbox I think it'd be a real issue then. But what ******** do I know I'm just on the sidelines watching.

  • GameproHiljan I'm not a simp I swear Attack/Helicopter (@GameproHiljan) reported

    In the latest Nintendo issue theres lots of confirmation bias on both sides corrently People are more focuses on dunking or defending than they are in getting the actual truth and that sucks People should just shut up intill or info is out cause they are just poisoning the well

  • justin_plaatje Justin Plaatje (@justin_plaatje) reported

    So my Bubble Gloop Swamp for Banjo Kazooie on #Nintendo Switch is broken. All notes and Jinjos that I've collected are put back when I re-enter the level. Any one else getting this?

  • pausebreakalex PAUSE BREAK (Alex) (@pausebreakalex) reported

    This is the problem Nintendo faces with piracy. They adamantly refuse to provide users with an affordable, easy-to-use method to access their older catalogue while also smiting down anyone else who does (albeit illegally). Until they fix that, this piracy issue won't go away.

  • DeadMalu 神の右席 (@DeadMalu) reported

    @detroitotaku @chef_back Here's the problem: Nintendo is infamous for this ****

  • omervk Omer van Kloeten 😷 (@omervk) reported

    Found a way to disclose the issue (thanks for your help, @jonshiring!). A Nintendo rep got back to me with what is essentially a “not my job” response. Not gonna pursue it further.

    @TedBasket @ShawnOfANewAge @BretHawkins87 I don’t like illogical arguments. If you intend on continuing this, please check your sources. The website literally says the owner made it because he was upset about his trouble finding game sales. It’s not because Nintendo games never go on sale or they’re still full price.

    @NXRazzalyn @GGMcAllen1138 The issue is the price. I shouldn't be paying the launch price for games from the 90s in 2022. Especially when I can go on the internet and play those, not only for free, but better than it would be to use Nintendo's emulator (which has numerous amounts of issues).
